Best Western in San Giovanni from AU$313

"Very clean hotel and very nice staff. 15min walk to the colosseum. Kinda away from all the tourist spots. More local restaurants. "

"The hotel was great! The area was very convenient and the room was clean! As for the area, best to stay away from using the Taxi’s The taxi scam is real! And very prevalent in Rome, especially in this area! Stay safe and avoid being their next victim, "

"Its a bit out there, underestimated how far out it was not walkable and bust gets very busy as it passes by Colesseum. Bathroom dated and dark, no extractor and water splashed from shower onto the floor- used hand towels as mats. Basic instant coffee. Breakfast. we did not find it appealing, but cheap @8Euro"

"I wouldn’t stay here again, but there were a few positives. First, this is advertised as a bed and breakfast, but there really isn’t a proper breakfast. The only thing provided was a coffee machine in the room and supposedly some pastries either in the mini fridge or in the hallway—I didn’t find any during my stay. There is a small café next door where you can buy coffee and breakfast, which is what I ended up doing. Access to the property is complicated. The first time you arrive, you have to buzz through a gate to enter, then go up a large set of stairs to reach the terrace apartments. After that, you use a code to retrieve your keys. From there, you’ll be carrying three keys plus a card: one for the main gate, one old-style key for the entry door, another for your room, and a card that must be inserted near the light switch to activate electricity. It’s manageable, but definitely inconvenient. The room itself was small but clean. The shower is very tight, though the water pressure was actually quite good. The location is a plus and makes it easy to get around. There is a taxi stand a block away. The host was friendly and very responsive to my questions, which I appreciated. The woman cleaning the rooms showed us around and helped us settle in. Overall, between the complicated access setup and small amenities, it didn’t meet expectations for me. This would be a great place for a backpacker to stay as luggage is hard to get up the stairs."

"Very good location. Close to the metro. Flat not cleaned at all. Enough towel in the appartment along with instant coffee/ tea. Electricity adapter available. Balcony small (2person standing up). "

"Continental breakfast "

"Property is located very conveniently near metro, very easy to get around. Very friendly and helpful staff."

"Breakfast is plentiful. The breakfast room can be noisy. The hotel hosts large groups. "

"The room was wonderful with only a 25 minute walk to the Colosseum. I was concerned with the water flooding the room because I had seen so many reviews complaining, but if you put down a towel in front of the shower door before turning on the water, you will be absolutely fine. There were ants in the property that crawled all through the trashcan and attacked a drink that I had on the night stand. Although it was annoying, they didn't bother me. Just don't leave food out! "
